Im looking to buy a ski this season for mostly park, and I'm looking for some input on these models (or any other suggestions)  I don't want to spend more than 400$ so these are all last year's skis.  I am 6'3" 175 lbs.  I am leaning toward the punx, but just how soft are they?  Keep in mind I am coming off worn out fujatives.  Also they have a very shallow sidecut, is this odd or don't you notice it?  I also like the anthem but for some reason can't get over the 2 in. I'd gain from 178 to 184 which I know wouldn't matter.  input?

With your size the Urbans might be too noodly.  The Punx are a little stiffer.

I'm 6' 200 and I have the urban punx in 175s for my rail skis and i love them. They are stiff as hell at first but when they get broken in the tips and tails are super soft. However the extra edge under foot makes it feel alot more stable. I didnt have my 181 thalls for a little while so i used these for about a solid month at the end of the season and even used them in the mount snow mega hucker and did just fine over a jump that big so i would say go for the 184s for a great soft all around ski. im gettin another pair in the 184 for myself this year i like mine so much and they still have great pop and arent tht heavy at all
